I was just pondering the problem at hand: should I spend $100 on that wireless adapter for my Xbox so I can get Live for Halo 2? Or maybe I can get a huge cable instead. I have a wireless router (a Linksys Wireless G Broadband router with a 4 port built in switch, to be exact), so it can go either way
Well, I came to these conclusions:
Adapter: $100
100' Cat 5e cable : $34
Adapter: Wireless, I can put it where ever I want
Cable: I am tied down
Adapter: Can get laggy, signal can break up, etc.
Cable: Always connected no matter what, faster connection
Which one should I do? Money isn't too much of a problem, but I would like to save as much as possible. If I got the cable, I would just drill a hole in the family room, run it outside and across the roof, and through the wall into the computer room where the router is.
Please help! I need to do this as soon as possible!
